The US business magnate Trump, who is running for President in the 2016 presidential elections, angered members of the Latino community with recent comments but says he will win the Latino vote.

After watching and listening to Donald Trump since he announced his candidacy for president, we have decided we won't report on Trump's campaign as part of The Huffington Post's political coverage. Instead, we will cover his campaign as part of our Entertainment section. Our reason is simple: Trump's campaign is a sideshow. We won't take the bait. If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you'll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette.

So, the ones who are always squawking about equal time and equal coverage have decided they don't like what he has to say so they aren't going to cover him even though he is leading in the polls? Oh ok.

The Huffington Post have now made themselves THE joke.

@sshole's.

I'm sure they love Hilary though..oh wait, she doesn't allow the reporters to question her. But I'm sure they report every tweet. ROTF

Well, personally I hope no one votes for Trump. He has a bigger ego than Obama.

At least he can't be bought. And, he isn't afraid to say what he really thinks. I will take that any day over the current crop of mealy mouthed, neutered, ball-less eunuch Repos.

Of course--liberals disagree with him, so he must be shut up because he dissents from their narrative.

I don't think he can win--but it isn't because he's not right. He absolutely is.

He is saying the things that NEED to be said.

Because McCain is not "a war hero."

Remind me what branch of the military Trump served in...

What branch did Obama serve in? 

That is not a requirement for being commander-in-chief.

Trump and Obama are opposite sides of the same coin.

Did you really just say that McCain isn't a war hero? I've never heard anyone, liberal or conservative, say that....

Here's the truth. They were all in a conference and McCain went off on Trump and called him crazy. Trump replied that McCain couldn't possibly be a war HERO since he got captured.

It was a pissing match.

 What I saw was an interview.   First trump didn't answer and when asked again was kind a flippant that he got captured so McCain is a hero but he prefers people that arent captured. 

 

I think trump is in it for the publicity.   I would not be surprised if he drops out.

 I disagree. Trump is in it to bring the country back to what it should be.  He is setting the stage for what the issues are. He is doing well.  I don't think he is a contender but is shaping the election. I like him for that.  The real contenders regardless of affiliation will have to answer to the issues Trump has laid down.  He is a thinker and not afraid of anyone. I used to think he was an egomaniac but not now, He knows he won't win but loves this country so much he is willing to spend his billions on setting it straight.  He is Honorable.

 It was taken out of context.  There is a real problem in this country with people reading the headlines, believing in them, and basing their opinion on said headline so not not researching the entire context.  It is sad really.
